I'm more disappointed that "Dumpster Fire" hasn't made the grade four times.

Would controversial emojis even get widespread support? Look at what happened to gun emoji.

Which is really the root problem with emojis: they're a top down definition of what concepts you are allowed to communicate.

If you're only allowed to communicate in emojis, I guess? Other than that I'm not sure what bearing emojis have on what I'm allowed to talk about.

"Dumpster fire" is a idiomatic phrase in English/US, so may not be universal enough.

I'm not an American... but "bin fire" seems to be a thing too.
